Empowering your club to support mental health and wellbeing
Football West and Healthway have developed "Kick off the Conversation", an integrated community program aimed at promoting mental health and wellbeing within the football community. The program focuses on raising awareness and advocating for improved mental health and wellbeing practices within clubs. This includes developing an educational strategy with supporting resources to engage members and identifying wellbeing champions to lead important conversations.
By participating in the program, clubs will gain a better understanding of the role they play in supporting and educating their members on mental health and wellbeing. Through education and support, these clubs will become better equipped to foster the mental health and wellbeing of their members, identify and support those who may be struggling and better manage situations where a more in-depth response is required.
